GW scheduled Hooper’s trial to take place after that of Benedict Arnold, which had been deferred in June and did not take place until December 1779 (see General Orders, 2 June and 19 Dec.; GW to John Laurance, 2 Dec. 1779, NHi: John Laurance Papers; and GW to Samuel Huntington, 4 Dec. 1779, DNA:PCC, item 152). Although preparations for Hooper’s court-martial seem to have gone forward, there is no record that his court-martial took place before Hooper left the quartermaster’s department in the late spring of 1780 (see Hooper to Greene, 2 Jan. and 3 Feb. 1780 in Greene Papers, description begins Richard K. Showman et al., eds. The Papers of General Nathanael Greene. 13 vols. Chapel Hill, N.C., 1976–2005. description ends 5:225, 339; see also Pa. Col.
